IVT is Ivytown aka. Ivy Bridge EX (past Xeon codenames: Clovertown, Gulftown, Harpertown, Jaketown, Gainestown -- although not all *town codenames covered Xeons, a lot did). All of these are easy to figure abbreviations of Intel code names, perhaps the newest ones a bit harder because we are not as used to them yet (CFL for Coffee Lake, GLK for Gemini Lake -- both of which are probably class action lawsuit targets as they shipped after Intel was told).
